Characteristics of connectivity between harvested landscapes and fixed-width riparian buffers
(2013-02-03)Fixed-width riparian buffers are a common best management policy enforced in forested landscapes on first and higher order streams. These buffer areas are delineated along stream banks in the field, based on the presence ... -
Development of key components of a nitrogen budget for a forested watershed on the Canadian boreal plain
(2009)This investigation, which took place as part of the Forest Watershed and Riparian Disturbance (FORWARD) study in west-central Alberta on the Boreal Plain, measured key components of a nitrogen (N) budget in a relatively ... -
Influence of riparian harvesting on boreal understory vegetation
(2014-01-22)In the boreal forest, understory vegetation accounts for the majority of floristic diversity and affects overstory succession and productivity, nutrient cycling, and wildlife habitat. In riparian forests, understory ... -
Mixtures of Metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Lead to Complex Toxic Outcomes in the Freshwater Amphipod, Hyalella azteca
(2015)The study of ecotoxicology inevitably must address the fact that toxicants always occur in mixture. Unfortunately, our present state of knowledge in terms of predicting the effects of contaminant mixtures and understanding ... -
Modelling soil temperature on the boreal plain with an emphasis on the rapid cooling period
(2009-10-15)To accurately model soil temperatures on the Boreal Plain, factors that influence fine-grained soils during the rapid cooling period must first be identified. The effects of air temperature, soil moisture and snow depth ... -
Tracking habitat use by boreal toads in disturbed forest on the boreal plain in Alberta
(2014-12-05)Radio-telemetry is an effective way of collecting detailed information on the behaviour of a great many species. However, the presence of the radio-transmitter may influence the behaviour of the subject, an effect for which ...
